'TO WHOM I T MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN KENDIG, of Safe Harbor, Lancaster county, State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Saw-Clamps; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull and exact description ofthe same, reference being had to the drawin specifications, in-which Figure 1 is a. view in perspective of the machine. Figure 2, view of the clamp to hold the saw while'being filed. Figure 3, end elevation of clamp.

Letters A A', two bed-pieces; letter B, face-block; letters C and C', pieceszconnecting A and A' with B, and supporting the clamps D and D'; letters D D', the clamp for holding the saw; letters e e, two small` screws for fastening the machine to the bench or window-sill; letter f, screw-passing horizontally through 'the faceblock B, and assists in fastening the machine, as indicated in fig. 3; letter g, a portion of that to which the machine is fastened; letters iz', two small screws to close or o onthe pieces- C C'.

gs that accompany and form'a part of these pen the clamps C C', letters e c, projecting strips The object of my invention is :to provide clamps for holding a saw while .the teeth are being filed, that requires no vise to hold it, one that can be easily attached to the side of a bench or window-sill, thus aordingA opportunity for the vise to be used in the mean time for other purposes, the ordinary method now being to use the vise for holding the clamps while in use. l

Fig. 2 shows the back side, in order to exhibit the various screws vthat are used to fasten the machine to the bench and those that are to regulate the clamp D. The projecting strips c c are to remove the clamp far enough from the bench, or thatnto which it is attached, to allow saws to be filed without removing them from their frames.
